2 mechanics can't figure it out - suspension?

[alexanderi24]

Hi guys
Really need some advice on this one please.
***Punto Sporting 54 plate ***
When turning left, rear of vehicle is totally unstable to the point where the traction control kicks in when going round long left corners, even relatively slowly.
Is worse if there are bumps on the corner.
Car pulls to the left on hard acceleration.
Problem has become more frequent/worse over time.
Have had it looked at by 2 separate garages including replacing rear suspension which has not helped at all! :bang:
Someone please help me!!!
thanks in advance

are both rear tyres matching in size?

 

[alexanderi24]

They were both fitted by the same mechanic, goin to check now, 2 mins

 

[alexanderi24]

just checked, both are exact same tyres im afraid

Rear brakes, bushes and bearings been checked? Any play?

 

[alexanderi24]

they checked bushes and bearings, didnt mention brakes and i didnt think of that, will have to go for third opinion and mention brakes and steering

Whereabouts in the country are you? Might be someone local can have a look, or suggest a trustworthy garage.

i can take a look for you if you wish, you are not anywhere west side of derby are you?

the punto is a car i have not seen the underside of yet so i would have to get under it to have a look at how the suspension works on it.

pulling to one side to me can mean that the wheel alignment is out, a brake is stuck on, a bush has failed or the suspension somewhere has failed.

do you get any knocking noises from the car when you turn or go over a bump?
